    A wire cd of length l and mass m is sliding without friction on conducting rails ax and by as shown. The vertical rails are connected to each other with a resistance R between a and b. A uniform magnetic field B is applied perpendicular to the plane abcd such that cd moves with a constant velocity of

    A)             \[\frac{mgR}{Bl}\]

    B)             \[\frac{mgR}{{{B}^{2}}{{l}^{2}}}\]

    C)             \[\frac{mgR}{{{B}^{3}}{{l}^{3}}}\]

    D)             \[\frac{mgR}{{{B}^{2}}l}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Due to magnetic field, wire will experience an upward force \[F=Bil=B\ \left( \frac{Bvl}{R} \right)\ l\]\[\Rightarrow F=\frac{{{B}^{2}}v{{l}^{2}}}{R}\]                    If wire slides down with constant velocity then             \[F=mg\Rightarrow \frac{{{B}^{2}}v{{l}^{2}}}{R}=mg\Rightarrow v=\frac{mgR}{{{B}^{2}}{{l}^{2}}}\]
